The Johnson Type Foundry, 

606-6/4 Sansom Street, Philadelphia, 

March , 1876. 

IN offering this Printers Handv .Book of Specimens to the typogra = 
phical- fraternity, we take occasion to express our lively satisfaction 
at the liberal appreciation by the craft of our efforts to promote its 
advancement by furnishing facilities for the production of high = 'class 
printing. JVot only in the large cities , but in numerous smaller 
places throughout the country, typographical artists may be found 
whose work is marked by evidences of fine taste and highly cultivated 
skill. 'There is in consequence a continually increasing demand for 
another fine and comprehensive Specimen Took, which shall contain 
all the new and essential productions of our foundry, and meet every 
requirement of a well-appointed modern printing office; and to supply 
this demand we issue the present elegant and portable volume. 

It is deemed proper to say. that, large and unrivalled as is the 
assortment of 'Plain and Ornamental Type shown in this Took, it is 
entirely of our own manufacture. Our complete practical knowledge 
of type ffounding in all its details, our thorough acquaintance with 
the best combinations of metal, and- our varied experience and entire 
familiarity with every line of printing, warrant us in expressing the 
conviction that no other foundry in the world can so fully meet the 
necessities of the printing craft. 

We ask for the continued patronage of printers, assuring them 
that the painstaking care and the conscientious attention to their orders 
which have marked our business conduct for nearly fifty years will 
characterize us in our future intercourse with them.

Nonpareil Old Style. 

On my arrival at Philadelphia, 1 was in my working dress, my best clothes 
being to come by sea. 1 was covered with dirt; my pockets were filled with 
shirts and stockings; I was unacquainted with a single soul in the place, and 
knew not where to seek a lodging. Fatigued with walking, rowing, and hav¬ 
ing passed the night without sleep, I was extremely hungry, and all my money 
consisted of a Dutch dollar, and about a shilling's worth of coppers,'which I 
gave to the boatmen for my passage. As I had assisted them in rowing, they 
refused it at first; but I insisted on their taking it. A man is sometimes more 
generous when he has little than when he has much money; probably because, 
in the first case, he is desirous of concealing his poverty. 1 walked towards the 
top of the street, looking eagerly on both sides, till 1 came to Market Street, 
where 1 met with a child*with a loaf of bread. Often had I made my din¬ 
ner on dry bread. I inquired where he had bought it, and went straight to the 
baker s shop which he pointed out to me. I asked for some biscuits, expelling to find 
such as we had at Boston; but they made , it seems , none of that sort at Philadelphia

Pearl Old Style, No. 2. 


Andrew Bradford, the son of that 
William Bradford who first printed in 
Pennsylvania and New York, was born in 
Philadelphia in the year 1686. It is prob¬ 
able that he derived his Christian name 
from his maternal grandfather, Andrew 
Soule, of London, an extensive publisher 
during the Commonwealth and Restora¬ 
tion. In 1693, when seven years old, he 
went with his parents to New York, and 
in that city, in his father’s office, he was 
taught the art with which his name is 
connedted in Pennsylvania. In the early 
days a classical education was probably 
not to be obtained in the colonies which 
now form the Middle States. But, in com¬ 
mon with (hose valuable men who were 
first born on our soil and record (he tran¬ 
sitions 0/ its people's birthright from 
England to America, Bradford received 


such education as was taught, and it is 
likely from parental counsel those yet 
better principles of right conduct which 
be at the foundation of character, and to 
which he owed, in earlier life than is com- 
n*on, 5u< li offices of trust and profit as 
were known in the primitive society of 
Philadelphia. His handwriting, speci* 
mens oi which are preserved, indicates 
nothing like illiteracy. A pamphlet pub¬ 
lished in New York, with the imprint of 
William and Andrew Bradford, shows 
that in 1711 he was probably in partner¬ 
ship with his father; and the publication 
of the colonial laws of New Jersey, in 
1732, with the same imprint, as Printers 
ti> the King's Most Excellent Majesty for 
the Province of New Jersey, would indi¬ 
cate that the partnership continued for 
some years. In the year 1712 Andrew

John Bull was a choleric old fellow, who held a good manor in 
the middle of a great mill-pond, and which, by reason of its beiim 
quite surrounded by water, was generally called Bullock Island 
Bull was an ingenious man, an exceedingly good blacksmith, a 
dexterous cutler, and a notable weaver and pot-baker besides. Ho. 
also brewed capital porter, ale, and small beer, and was in fact a 
sort of Jack-of-all trades, and good at each. In addition to these, 
he was a hearty fellow, an excellent bottle-companion, and passably 
bouest as times go. But what tarnished all these qualities was a 
very quarrelsome, overbearing disposition, which was always get¬ 
ting him into some scrape or other. The truth is, he never heard 
of a quarrel going on among his neighbours but his fingers itched 
to be in the thickest of them; so that he was hardly ever seen 
without a broken head, a black eye, or a bloody nose. Such was 
Squire Bull, as he was commonly called by the country-people his 
neighbours,—one of those odd, testy, grumbling, boasting old codgers, 
that never get credit for what they are, because they are always pre¬ 
tending to be what they are not. The squire was as tight a hand to

My wife! how calmly sleepest thou! 

A perfect peace is on thy brow;

Thy voice is mute, and not a sound

That God has drawn upon thy face.

My wife! thy breath is low and soft; 

To catch its sound I listen oft; 

The lightest leaf of Persian rose 
Upon thy lips might find repose: 

So deep thy slumbers, that I press’d 
My trembling hand upon thy breast. 

In sudden fear that envious death 
Had robb’d thee, sleeping, of thy breath.

P'lVE ear, O ye heavens, 
V* and I w iU speak ; ami 
hear, O earth, the words of 
my mouth. 

2 My doctrine shall drop 
as the rain, my speech shall 
distil us thedvw.u-thesmall 
rain upon the tender herh, 
and os the showers upon the 
gnus; 

3 Because 1 will publish 
the name of the LORD: as¬ 
cribe ye greatness unto our 
God. 

4 He is the Rook, bis work 
is perfect; for all Ins wavs a re 
judgment: a God of truth 
and without iniquity, just 
and right is he. 

5 They have corrupted 
themselves, their spot is not

are a perverse and crooked 
generation.

old, consider tho years of 
many generations; ask thy 

fatherand he wiilshew thee;

8 When the Most High 
divided to the nations their 
inheritance, when lie sepa¬ 
rated the sons of Adum, lie 
set the bounds of the peoplo 
according to the number of 
the children of Israel. 

0 For the LORD" S por- 
tiou is his people; Jacob is 
tho lot of his inheritance. 

10 He found him in a de¬ 
sert laud, and in the waste 
howling wilderness; he led 
him aliout, he instructed 
him, he kept him as the 
appie of his eye. 

11 As an eagle stirreth up 
her ne*t, lluttereth over her 
young, sprendeth abroad her 
wings,inketh them, beareth 
them on her wings; 

12 So the LORD alone did 
lead him, and there was no 
strange god witli him.

Somebody’s child is lost to-night!

And the earth is frozen hard and white, 

And the wind has a nipping sting.

Laying a blessing on every head 
After their evening prayers were said—

Yet somebody’s child is lost, I say,

Some innocent lamb has gone astray 
Unwittingly from its fold.

And I grasp my staff and cloak ; 

But the ringer over the wold had cross’d 
Before I tardily spoke. 

The neighbours soon gather, and far and near 
We pry into ditch and fen. 

Till, hark ! an answering shout I hear— 

The rover is found again. 

Ah ! mother, fond mother, your heart is light 
With Joe to your bosom hound ; 

But many a child is lost to-night 

Who’ll never, no, never be found.

THE ART OF COMPOSITION. 

Experience proves that the apprentice foreshadows 
the workman, just as surely as the bend of the twig fore¬ 
tells the inclination of the tree. The upright, obedient, 
industrious lad will graduate a steady, skilful, and capa¬ 
ble man, as unmistakably as the perverse, idling, careless 
boy will ripen into a lazy, dissolute fellow. The fact is, 
a boy is measurably the maker of his own destine; and 
if he fail to acquire a master-knowledge of the trade to 
which he is put, it will mainly be because In* did not at 
his outset determine to be a master-workman. Good 
morals and steady industry are indispensable. 

M hen a lad who possesses these qualities proposes to 
learn the art and mystery of printing, it should be in¬ 
quired of him. Has he had a fair common-school educa¬ 
tion? Is he a perfect speller? Hash** a turn forreading? 
Is liis eyesight good? Is he under fifteen years of age? 
A true affirmative answer to all these queries will entitle 
him to the position of reading and errand boy. He is 
told the hours at which he is to come and go, and a st rict 
punctuality is enjoiped upon him. He sweeps the room, 
—he sorts out the pi,—he learns the position of the vari¬ 
ous letters in the case. A year spent in this way is an 
excellent preparative for “going to case,” or learning 
the art of composing type. 

When he is put to composition, he is told to set up one 
line and show it to the foreman or to the Journeyman 
under whose care he may be placed. The errors in the 
line are pointed out to him, and he is required to correct 
them himself. When the words are perfectly correct, he 
justifies the line tight enough to prevent it from falling 
down when the composing-stick is slightly inclined, and 
yet sufficiently loose to enable him to lift it out with ease. 
In thus spacing out the line, the blanks between the 
words must be so graduated that, when the matter is 
printed, all the words will appear at equal distances 
apart. No matter how impatient he may be to get on, he 
must be drilled at this exercise till he becomes a thorough 
master of it. The grand doctrine to be instilled into him 
first is, to do his work well and correctly; swiftness will 
follow as a natural consequence. 11c sets a second line; 
and after it has been made faultless he proceeds with the 
third, and so on till the stick is full. The utmost care 
must be taken to keep every letter and every line in an 
exact vertical position; and when he essays to empty the 
stick he must be taught to lift the entire mass in one 
square, solid body, and to place it squarely and vertically 
on the galley. If the lines are allowed to slant either 
backward or sidewise, it is difficult afterward to make 
them stand accurately. 

After the apprentice has become thoroughly conversant 
with the shape of every type, and can distinguish “u” 
from “n,” “b” from f ‘q,” and “d” from “p,” he is 
allowed to distribute type for his own us**, lie is taught 
to take up at one time no more matter than he can con¬ 
veniently grasp in his left hand, which he holds so that 
the light falls on the face of the type, and his eye can 
readily read it. In distributing the various letters, he 
takes a word or two between the thumb and forefinger 
of his right hand, and the types are lightly dropped into 
their respective boxes. 

At the outset, and as he proceeds, the novitiate must 
be cautioned against the acquisition of bad habits; such 
as swinging the body as the types are picked up, nicking 
the type against the stick several times before placing it 
in line, standing on one leg. Ac. 

While avoiding these ridiculous practices, a learner 
must acquire (if lie does not possess them already) cer¬ 
tain habitudes or principles which lie at the foundation 
of successful effort. The first is 

Punctuality. — He must conscientiously observe the 
time-rules of the office in coming and leaving. The early 
hours are the best forwork; and tin* mind being cheered 
by the consciousness of doing right, the body feels the 
influence, and is strengthened; and when the quitting 
hour arrives, the amount of work accomplished will 
satisfy himself and his master too. The most successful 
masters have been distinguished for punctuality. The 
apprentice’s time is not his own, but his master’s pro¬ 
perty; ami wasting it by want of punctuality, or idling 
during his master’s absence, is simply equivalent to 
stealing. The second point is 

Obedience .—The apprentice has no right to question 
orders given by his master or his deputy. His duty is 
promptly to do as he is told, without grumbling or dis¬ 
satisfaction. Let him remember that he is under orders, 
and that, if he ever expects to learn how to command, 
he must learn in his youth how to obey. He will pro¬ 
mote his own interests by seeking to anticipate his mas¬ 
ter’s wishes, and by endeavouring to make himself so 
useful that his services cannot be well dispensed with. 
Akin to this is , . 

Courtesy .—Good manners in a youth are wonderfully 
pleasing, and effectively aid in his advancement. Cour¬ 
tesy towards his master is a matter of course, and deserv¬ 
ing' of little commendation; but he must be courteous 
to customers when sent on an errand, and courteous to 
the workmen in the office. By this means ho will secure 
good-will, and many a friendly hint will be given to him 
in acquiring a knowledge of the art. The habit when 
fixed will bless him and others as long as he lives. 

A youth with average ability has, in a good measure, 
his destiny in his own hands. Stubborn determination, 
persevering industry, unbending uprightness, self-denial, 
and economical habits go far to ensure success; in most 
cases, they command it. 


COMPOSITOR’S POSITION. 

The standing position of a compositor should be per¬ 
fectly upright, without stiffness or restraint; the shoul¬ 
ders thrown back, the feet firm on the floor, heels nearly 
closed, and toes turned out to form an angle of about 
forty-five degrees. The head and body should be kept 
perfectly steady, except when moving from the Roman 
to the Italic case, the operations of distributing and com¬ 
posing being performed by the various motions of the 
arm, from the shoulder-joint alone; and if, to reach a 
box placed in a further part of the cases, to put In or 
take out a letter, he should incline the body by a slight 
motion, he should immediately resume his erect position. 
The height of a compositor and his frame should be so 
adjusted that his right elbow may Just clear the front of 
the lower case by the a and r boxes, without the smallest 
elevation of the shoulder-joint; his breast will then be 
opposite the space, h, and e boxes. Sitting at work 
should be rarely permitted, except for lameness, weak¬ 
ness, old age, or other infirmity; and then the stool 
should be a small piece of board fastened to a single leg. 
Ilabit will render a standing position familiar and easy; 
perseverance in conquering a little fatigue will be amply 
repaid by the prevention of knock knees, round shoul¬ 
ders, and obstructed circulation of the blood and respi¬ 
ration of the lungs. 


LAYING TYPE. 

Unwrap carefully the page received from the type¬ 
founder, and, laying it on a galley, soak it thoroughly 
with thin soap-water, to prevent the types from adhering 
to one another after they have been used a short time. 
Then, with a stout rule or reglet, lift as many lines as 
will make about an inch in thickness, and, placing the 
rule close up on one side of the bottom of the proper box, 
slide off the lines gently, taking care not to rub the face 
of the letter against the side of the box. Proceed thus 
with successive lines till the box is filled. 

Careless compositors are prone to huddle new types 
together, and, grasping them up by handfuls, plunge 
them pell-mell into the box, rudely Jostling them about 
to crowd more in. This is an intolerable practice. The 
type left over should be kept standing on galleys, in 
regular order, till the cases need replenishment. A fount 
of five hundred pounds of Pica may have, say, four cases 
allotted to it; the same amount of Nonpareil, from eight 
to ten cases. 


NOTICES. 

The American Printer.— The number of people en¬ 
gaged in writing for the press is now so great,, and con¬ 
sequently the number of people engaged in the practical 
work of printing has become so large, that this most 
elegant volume ought to find a wide field of usefulness. 
Many an author who has gnashed his teeth with rage 
over the havoc which the types have made with his 
cherished manuscript, might have saved himself much 
mortification, and great wear and tear of temper, by 
familiarity with the contents of this book. And many a 
practical printer might learn from it how to transform 
the clumsy drudgery of his trade into something like a 
fine art. There is as much difference between the coarse 
workmanship of a country village printing office and 
the exquisite typography of which this volume is a speci¬ 
men, as there is between the schoolboy’s scrawl with 
chalk or charcoal and the careful painting of a trained 
artist. It is a pleasure, even for one who has no prac¬ 
tical occasion for the information which it contains, to 
handle a book so perfect in its workmanship as this.— 
New York Evangelist. 

The American Printer —This is a volume of rare in¬ 
terest, not only to printers, but to literary persons gene¬ 
rally. It is remarkably well written, and embraces much 
valuable historical information. Its descriptions of the 
various operations of type making, composition, press- 
work. binding, Ac., are of great importance. No more 
entertaining or useful book could be put In the hands of 
young people; for it is a lamentable fact that very few 
pupils who graduate from the schools have learned the 
simple outline of book making or printing. It is made a 
charming study by Mr. MacKellar, and his book should 
be introduced to every teacher’s desk in the land. It is 
exquisitely printed—a model of beauty. No printer can 
afford to be without it .—-Christian Radical.

THE ART OF COMPOSITION. 

Experience proves that the apprentice foreshadows 
the workman, just as surely as the bend of the twig 
foretells the inclination of the tree. The upright, obe¬ 
dient, industrious lad will graduate a steady, skilful, and 
capable man, as unmistakably as the perverse, idling, 
cureless boy will ripen into a lazy, dissolute fellow. The 
fact is, a boy is measurably the maker of his own destiny; 
and if he fail to acquire a master-knowledge of the trade 
to which he is put, it will mainly be because he did not 
at his outset determine to be a master-workman. Good 
morals and steady industry are indispensable. 

When a lad who possesses these qualities proposes to 
learn the art and mystery of printing, it should be in¬ 
quired of him, Has he had a fair common-school educa¬ 
tion? Is lie a perfect speller? Has lie a turn for read¬ 
ing? Is his eyesight good? Is he under fifteen years of 
age? A true affirmative answer to all these queries will 
entitle him to the position of reading and errand boy. 
He is told the hours at which he is to come and go, and 
a strict punctuality is enjoined upon him. He sweeps 
the room,—he sorts out the pi,—he learns the position of 
the various letters in the case. A year spent in this way 
is an excellent preparative for “going to case,” or learn¬ 
ing the art of composing type. 

When he is put to composition, he is told to set up one 
line and show it to the foreman or to the journeyman 
under w hose care he may be placed. The errors in the 
line are pointed out to him, and he is required to correct 
them himself. When the words are perfectly correct, he 
justifies the line tight enough to prevent it from falling 
down when the composing-stick is slightly inclined, and 
yet sufficiently loose to enable him to lift it out with 
ease. In thus spacing out the line, the blanks between 
the words must be so graduated that, when the matter is 
printed, all the words will appear at equal distances 
apart. No matter how impatient he may be to get on, 
he must be drilled at this exercise till he becomes a 
thorough master of it. The grand doctrine to be instilled 
into him first is, to do his work well and correctly; 
swiftness will follow as a natural consequence. He sets 
a second line; and after it has been made faultless he 
proceeds with the third, and so on till the stick is full. 
The utmost care must be taken to keep every letter and 
every line in an exact vertical position; and when he 
essays to empty the stick he must be taught to lift the 
entire mass in one square solid body, and to place it 
squarely and vertically on the galley. If the lines are 
allowed to slant either backward or sidewise, it is difficult 
afterward to make them stand accurately. 

After the apprentice has become thoroughly conversant 
with the shape of every type, and can distinguish “u” 
from “ n,” “ b” from “ q,” and “ d” from “ p,” he is allowed 
to distribute type for his own use. He is taught to take 
up at one time no more matter than he can conveniently 
grasp in his left hand, which he holds so that the light 
falls on the face of the type, and his eye can readily read 
it. In distributing the various letters, he takes a word 
or two between the thumb and forefinger of his right 
hand, and the types are lightly dropped into their re¬ 
spective boxes. 

At the outset, and as he proceeds, the novitiate must 
be cautioned against the acquisition of bad habits; such 
as swinging the body as the types are picked up, nicking 
the type against the stick several times before placing it 
in line, standing on one leg, Ac. 

While avoiding these ridiculous practices, a learner 
must acquire (if he does not possess them already) certain 
habitudes or principles which lie at the foundation of 
successful effort. The first is 

Punctuality. — He must conscientiously observe the 
time-rules of the office in coming and leaving. The early 
hours are the best for work; and the mind being cheered 
by the consciousness of doing right, the body feels the 
influence, and is strengthened; and when the quitting 
hour arrives, the amount of work accomplished will 
satisfy himself and his master too. The most successful 
masters have been distinguished for punctuality. The 
apprentice’s time is not his own, but his master’s pro¬ 
perty; and wasting it by want of punctuality, or idling 
during his master’s absence, is simply equivalent to 
stealing. The second point is 

Obedience. —The apprentice has no right to question 
orders given by his master or his deputy. His duty is 
promptly to do as he is told, without grumbling or dis¬ 
satisfaction. Let him remember that lie is under orders, 
and that, if he ever expects to learn how to command, 
he must learn in his youth how to obey. He will pro¬ 
mote his own interests by seeking to anticipate his mas¬ 
ter’s wishes, and by endeavouring to make himself so | 
useful that his services cannot be well dispensed with. 

Courtesy .— Good manners in a youth are wonderfully ; 
pleasing, and effectively aid in his advancement. 


COMPOSITOR’S POSITION. 

The standing position of a compositor should bo per¬ 
fectly upright, without stiffness or restraint; the shoul¬ 
ders thrown back, the feet firm on the floor, heels nearly 
closed, and toes turned out to form an angle of about 
forty-five degrees. The head and body should be kept 
perfectly steady, except when moving from the Roman 
to the Italic case, the operations of distributing and com¬ 
posing being performed by the various motions of the 
arm, from the shoulder-joint alone; and if, to reach a 
box placed in a further part of the cases, to put in or take 
out a letter, he should incline the body by a slight 
motion, he should immediately resume his erect position. 
The height of a compositor and his frame should be so 
adjusted that his right elbow may just clear the front of 
the lower case by the a and r boxes, without the smallest 
elevation of the shoulder-joint; his breast will then be 
opposite the space, h, and e boxes. Sitting at work should 
be rarely permitted, except for lameness, weakness, old 
age, or other infirmity; and then the stool should be a 
small piece of board fastened to a single leg. Habit will 
i render a standing position familiar and easy; perseve¬ 
rance in conquering a little fatigue will be amply repaid 
by the prevention of knock knees, round shoulders, and 
obstructed circulation of the blood and respiration of the 
| lungs. __ 

LAYING TYPE. 

Unwrap carefully the page received from the type¬ 
founder, and, laying it on a galley, soak it thoroughly 
with thin soap-water, to prevent the types from adhering 
to one another after they have been used a short time. 
Then, with a stout rule or reglet, lift as many lines as 
| will make about an inch in thickness, and, placing the 
rule close up on one side of the bottom of the proper box, 
slide off the lines gently, hiking care not to rub the face 
of the letter against the side of the box. Proceed thus 
with successive lines till the box is filled. 

Careless compositors are prone to huddle new types 
together, and, grasping them up by handfuls, plunge 
them pell-mell into the box, rudely jostling them about 
to crowd more in. This is an intolerable practice. The 
( type left over should be kept standing on galleys, in 
regular order, till the cases need replenishment. A fount 
of five hundred pounds of Pica may have, say, four cases 
allotted to it; the same amount of Nonpareil, from eight 
to ten cases. 


NOTICES. 

MacKellar, Smiths A Jordan’s Book of Specimens. 
—In this magnificent volume we have the very apotheosis 
of the implements of the printer’s art. Such satiny finish 
and parchment-like thickness and strength of paper, 
such glossiness and brilliant variety of colour in ink, such 
perfection of “press-work,” such store of witty sayings, 
these embalming such innumerable designs of types—a 
bewildering luxuriance of patterns—is a work doing the 
highest credit to American handicraft. There is not 
only dexterity, but taste and cultivation and luxury, 
displayed on every page. And it is all merely an adver¬ 
tisement ! But such a costly and beautiful advertisement 
can only be the issue of an establishment of great enter¬ 
prise and resources. The regular book-makers had best 
look sharply to their laurels, for this type-founders’ adver¬ 
tisement may boldly challenge comparison, for mechani¬ 
cal skill, accuracy and elegance, with the most sumptuous 
of their productions.— Utica Evening Telegraph.

as a most serviceable auxiliary. This article is equally 
valuable as furniture for the imposition of forms, and as

EVENING CHATTINGS. 

Let’s sit down and talk together 
Of the things of olden day, 

When we, like lambkins loosed from tether, 
Gayly tripp’d along the way. 

Time has touch’d us both with lightness, 
Leaving furrows here and there, 

And tinging with peculiar brightness 
Silvery threads among our hair. 

Let’s sit down and talk together; 

Many years away have past, 

And fair and foul has been the weather 
Since we saw each other last. 

Many whom we loved are living 
In a better world than this; 

And some among us still are giving 
Toil and thought for present bliss. 

Let’s sit down and talk together; 

Though the flowers of youth are dead, 

The ferns still grow among the heather, 
And for us their fragrance shed. 

Life has thousand blessings in it 
Even for the ageil man; 

And God has hid in every minute 
Something we may wisely scan.

EVENING CHATTINGS. 

Let’s sit down and talk together 
Of the things of olden day, 

When we, like lambkins loosed from tether, 
Gayly tripp’d along the way. 

Time has touch’d us both with lightness, 
Leaving furrows here and there, 

And tinging with peculiar brightness 
Silvery threads among our hair. 

Let’s sit down and talk together; 

Many years away have past, 

And fair and foul has been the weather 
Since we saw each other last. 

Many whom we loved are living 
In a better world than this; 

And some among us still are giving 
Toil and thought for present bliss. 

Let’s sit down and talk together; 

Though the flowers of youth are dead, 

The ferns still grow among the heather, 
And for us their fragrance shed. 

Life has thousand blessings in it 
Even for the aged man; 

And God has hid in every minute 
Something we may wisely scan. 


POSITION. 

The standing position of a compositor 
should be perfectly upright, without stiffness 
or restraint; the shoulders thrown back, the 
feet firm on the floor, heels nearly closed, 
and toes turned out to form an angle of 
about forty-five degrees. The head and body 
should be kept perfectly steady, except when 
moving from the Roman to the Italic case, 
the operations of distributing and composing 
being performed by the various motions of 
the arm, from the shoulder-joint alone; and 
if, to reach a box placed in a further part 
of the cases, to put in or take out a letter, he 
should incline the body by a slight motion, 
he should immediately resume his erect posi¬ 
tion. The height of a compositor and his 
frame should be so adjusted that his right 
elbow may just clear the front of the lower 
case by the a and r boxes, without the 
smallest elevation of the shoulder-joint; his 
breast will then be opposite the space, h, and 
e boxes. Sitting at work should be rarely 
permitted, exoept for lameness, weakness, old 
age, or other infirmity; and then the stool 
should be a small piece of board fastened to 
a single leg. Habit will render a standing 
position familiar and easy.

Experience proves that the apprentice foreshadows 
the workman, just as surely as the bend of the twig fore¬ 
tells the inclination of the tree. The upright, obedient, 
industrious lad will graduate a steady, skilful, and capa¬ 
ble man, as unmistakably us the perverse, idling, careless 
boy will ripen into a lazy, dissolute, fellow. The fact is, 
a boy is measurably the maker of his own destiny; and 
if he fails to acquire a master-knowledge of the trade to 
which he is put, it will mainly be because he did not at 
his outset determine to be a master-workman. Good 
morals and steady industry are indispensable. 

When a lad who possesses these qualities proposes to 
learn the art and mystery of printing, it should be in¬ 
quired of him, Has he had a fair common-school educa¬ 
tion? Is he a perfect speller? Has he a turn for reading? 
Is his eyesight good? Is he under fifteen years of age? 
A true affirmative answer to all these queries will entitle 
him to the position of reading and errand boy. He is 
told the hours at which he is to come and go, and a strict 
punctuality is enjoined upon him. He sweeps the room, 
—he sorts out the pi,—he learns the position of the vari¬ 
ous letters in the case. A year spent in this way is an 
excellent preparative for “going to case,” or learning the 
art of composing type. 

When he is put to composition, he is told to set up one 
line and show it to the foreman or to the journeyman 
under whose care he may be placed. The errors in the 
line are pointed out to him, and he is required to correct 
them himself. When the words are perfectly correct, he 
justifies the line tight enough to prevent it from falling 
clown when the composing-stick is slightly inclined, and 
yet sufficiently loose to enable him to lift it out with ease. 
In thus spacing out the line, the blanks between the 
words must be so graduated that, when the matter is 
printed, all the words will appear at equal distances 
apart. No matter how impatient lie may be to get on, he 
must be drilled at this exercise till he becomes a thorough 
master of it. The grand doctrine to be instilled into him 
first is, to do his work well and correctly; swiftness will 
follow as a natural consequence. He sets a second line; 
and after it has been made faultless he proceeds with the 
third, and so on till the stick is full. The utmost care 
niM-t iif taken t<> keep every letter and every Une in an 
exact vertical position ; and when he essays to empty the 
stick in- must be taught to lift the entire mass in one 
square solid body, and to place it squarely and vertically 
on the galley. If the lines are allowed to slant either 
backward or sidewise, it is difficult afterward to make 
them stand accurately. 

After the apprentice has become thoroughly conversant 
with the shape of every type, and can distinguish “u” 
from “n,” “b” from u q,” and “d” from “i»," he is 
allowed to distribute type for his own use. He is taught 
to take up at one time no more matter than he can con¬ 
veniently grasp in his left hand, which he holds so that 
the light falls on the face of the type, and his eye can 
readily read it. In distributing the various letters, he 
takes a word or two between the thumb and forefinger of 
his right hand, and the types are lightly dropped into 
their respective boxes. 

At the outset, and as he proceeds, the novitiate must he 
cautioned against the acquisition of had habits; such as 
swinging the body as the types are picked up, nicking the 
type against the stick several times before placing it in 
line, standing on one leg, <fcc. 

While avoiding these ridiculous practices, a learner 
must acquire (if he does not possess them already) certain 
habitudes or principles which lie at the foundation of 
successful effort. The first is 

Punctuality—lie must conscientiously observe the time- 
rules of the office in coming and leaving. The early hours 
are the best for work; and the mind being cheered by 
the consciousness of doing right, the body feels the in¬ 
fluence, and is strengthened ; and when the quitting hour 
arrives, the amount of work accomplished will satisfy 
himselr and his master too. The most successful masters 
have been distinguished for punctuality. The appren¬ 
tice’s time is not liis own, but his masters property; and 
wasting it by want of punctuality, or idling during his 
masters absence, is simply equivalent to stealing. The 
second point is 

Obedience —The apprentice has no right to question 
orders given by his master or his deputy. His duty is 
promptly to do as he is told, without grumbling or dis¬ 
satisfaction. Let him remember that he is under orders, 
and that, if he ever expects to learn how to command, he 
must learn in his youth how to obey, lie will promote 
his own interests by seeking to anticipate his master’s 
wishes, and by endeavouring to make himself so useful 
that Ins services cannot be well dispensed with. Akin 
to this is 

Courtesy— Good manners in a youth are wonderfully 
pleasing, and effectively aid in his advancement. Courtesy 
towards his master is *a matter of course, and deserving 
of little commendation ; but he must be courteous to cus¬ 
tomers when sent on an errand, and courteous to the 
workmen in the office. By this means he will secure 
good-will, and many a friendly hint will be given to him 
in acquiring a knowledge of the art. The habit when 
fixed will bless him and others as long as he lives. 

A youth with average ability has, in a good measure, 
his destiny in his own hands. Stubborn determination, 
persevering industry, unbending uprightness, self-denial, 
and economical habits go far to ensure success. 


POSITION. 

The standing position of a compositor should be per¬ 
fectly upright, without stiffness or restraint; the shoulders 
thrown back, the feet firm on the floor, heels nearly closed, 
and toes turned out to form an angle of about forty-five 
degrees. The head and body should he kept perfectly 
steady, except when moving from the Roman to the Italic 
case, the operations of distributing and composing being 
performed by the various motions of the arm, from the 
shoulder-joint alone; and if, to reach a box placed in the 
further part of the cases, to put in or take out a letter, he 
should incline the body by a slight motion, he should 
immediately resume his erect position. The height of a 
compositor and his frame should be so adjusted that his 
right elbow may just clear the front of the lower case by 
the a and r boxes, without the smallest elevation of the 
shoulder-joint; his breast will then be opposite the space, 
h, and e boxes. Sitting at work should be rarely per¬ 
mitted, except for lameness, weakness, old age, or other 
infirmity; and then the stool should be a small piece of 
board fastened to a single leg. Habit will render a stand¬ 
ing position familiar and easy; perseverance in conquer¬ 
ing a littli^fatigue will be amply repaid by the prevention 
of knock knees, round shoulders, and obstructed circula¬ 
tion of tin* blood and respiration of the lungs. 


LAYING TYPE. 

Unwrap carefully the pages received from the type¬ 
founder, and, laying it on a galley, soak it thoroughly 
with thin soap-water, to prevent the types from adhering 
to one another after they have been used a short time. 
Then, with a stout rule or reglet, lift as many lines as 
will make about an inch in thickness, and, placing the 
rule close up on one side of the bottom of the proper box, 
slide off the lines gently, taking care not to rub the face 
of the letter against the side of the box. Proceed thus 
with successive lines till the box is filled. 

Careless compositors are prone to huddle new types 
together, and, grasping them up by the handfuls, plunge 
them pell-mell into the box, rudely jostling them about 
to crowd more in. This is an intolerable practice. The 
type left over should be kept standing on galleys, in regu¬ 
lar order, till the cases need replenishment. A fount of 
five hundred pounds of Pica may have, say, four cases 
allotted to it; the same amount of Nonpareil, from eight 
to ten cases. 

NOTICES. 

An order for some materials for our job department 
from MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan’s Foundry at Phila¬ 
delphia, dated the 8th, was received on the 10th. This 
promptness is a characteristic instance of the admirable 
style in which this old, sterling firm transacts its exten¬ 
sive business. We have had considerable dealing with 
them lately, and the perfect generosity and gentleman- 
11 ness with which they have invariably treated us, and 
the excellence of their varied manufactures arc worthy of 
a higher and more appreciative encomium than we are 
capable of penning .—Chautauqua Democrat , New York.

THE ART OF COMPOSITION, 


POSITION, 


I EXPERIENCE proves that the apprentice foresha- 
J (lows the workman, just as surely as the bend 
of the twig fortells the inclination of the tree. The 
upright, obedient, industrious lad will graduate a 
steady, skilful, and capable man, as unmistakably 
as the perverse, idling, careless boy will ripen into 
a lazy, dissolute fellow. The fact is, a boy is mea¬ 
surably the maker of his own destiny: and if he 
fail to aeqtiire a master-knowledge of the trade to 
which he is put, it will mainly be because he did 
not at his outset determine to be a master-workman. 
Good morals and steady industry are indispensable. 

When a lad who possesses these qualities proposes 
to learn the art and mystery of printing, it should 
be inquired of him. Hits he had a fair common- 
school education? Is he a perfect speller? Has he 
a turn for reading? Is his eyesight good? Is he 
under fifteen years of age? A true affirmative an¬ 
swer to all these queries will entitle him to the posi¬ 
tion of reading and errand boy. He is told the 
hours at which he is to come and go, and a strict 
punctuality is enjoined upon him. He sweeps the 
room,—he sorts out the pi,—lie learns the position 
of the various letters in the ease. A year spent in 
this way is an excellent preparative for "going to 
case," or learning the art of composing type. 

When he is put to composition, he is told to set 
up one line and show it to the foreman or to the 
journeyman under whose care he may be placed. 
The errors in the line are pointed out to him, and 
he is required to correct them himself. When the 
words are perfectly correct, he justifies the line 
tight enough to prevent it from falling down when 
the composing-stick is slightly inclined, and yet 
sufficiently loose to enable him to lift it out with 
ease. In thus spacing out the line, the blanks be¬ 
tween the words must be so graduated that, when 
the matter is printed, all the words will appear at 
equal distances apart. No matter how impatient 
he may be to get on. he must be drilled at this ex¬ 
ercise till he becomes a thorough master of it. The 
grand doctrine to be instilled into him first is, to do 
liis work well and correctly: swiftness will follow 
as a natural consequence. He sets a second line: 
and after it has been made faultless he proceeds 
with the third, and so on till the stick is full. The 
utmost care must be taken to keep every letter and 
every line in an exact vertical position; and when 
he essays to empty the stick he must be taught to 
lift the entire mass in one square solid body, and to 
place it squarely and vertically on the galley. If 
the lines are allowed to slant either backward or 
sidewise, it is difficult afterward to make them 
stand accurately. 

After the apprentice has become thoroughly con¬ 
versant with the shape of every type, and can dis¬ 
tinguish "u" from “n," "b” from “q,” and "d” from 
“ p,” he is allowed to distribute type for his own use. 
He is taught to take up at one time no more matter 
than he can conveniently grasp in his left hand, 
which he holds so that the light falls on the face of 
the type, and his eye can readily read it. In dis¬ 
tributing the various letters, he takes a word or two 
between the thumb and forefinger of his right hand, 
and the types are lightly dropped into their respec¬ 
tive boxes. 

At the outset, and as he proceeds, the novitiate 
must be cautioned against the acquisition of bad 
habits: such as swinging the body as the types are 
picked up, nicking the type against the stick several 
times before placing it in line, standing on one leg, 
Ac. While avoiding all these ridiculous practices, a 
learner must acquire (if he does not possess them 
already) certain habitudes or principles which lie 
at the foundation of successful effort. The first is 
Punctuality .—He must conscientiously observe the 
time-rules of the office in coming and leaving. The 
early hours are the best for work; and the mind 
being cheered by the consciousness of doing right, 
the body feels the influence, and is strengthened; 
and when the quitting hour arrives, the amount of 
work accomplished will satisfy himself and his 
master too. The most successful masters have 
been distinguished for punctuality. The appren¬ 
tice's time is not his own, but his master's property; 
and wasting it by want of punctuality, or idling 
during his master’s absence, is simply equivalent to 
stealing. The second point is 
Obedience .—The apprentice has no right to ques¬ 
tion orders given by his master or his deputy. His 
duty is promptly to do as he is told, without grum¬ 
bling or dissatisfaction. 


fTIHE standing position of a compositor should be 
* perfectly upright, without stiffness or restraint; 
the shoulders thrown back, the feet firm on the floor, 
heels nearly closed, and toes turned out to form an 
angle of about forty-five degrees. The head and 
body should be kept perfectly steady, except when 
moving from the Roman to the Italic case, the ope¬ 
rations of distributing and composing being per¬ 
formed by the various motions of the arm, from the 
shoulder-joint alone; and if, to reach a box placed 
in a further part of the cases, to put in or take out a 
letter, he should incline the body by a slight mo¬ 
tion, he should immediately resume his erect posi¬ 
tion. The height of a compositor and his frame 
should be so adjusted that his right elbow may just 
clear the front of the lower case by the a and r 
boxes, without the smallest elevation of the shoul¬ 
der-joint; his breast will then be opposite the space, 
h, and e boxes. Sitting at work should be rarely 
permitted, except for lameness, weakness, old age, 
or other infirmity; and then the stool should be a 
small piece of board fastened to a single leg. Habit 
will render a standing position familiar and easy; 
perseverance in conquering a little fatigue will be 
amply repaid by the prevention of knock knees, 
round shoulders, and obstructed circulation of the 
blood and respiration of the lungs. 


LAYING TYPE, 

U NWRAP carefully the page received from the 
type-founder, and, laying it on a galley, soak 
it thoroughly with thin soap-water, to prevent the 
types from adhering to one another after they have 
been used a short time. Then, with a stout rule or 
reglet, lift as many lines as will make about an inch 
in thickness, and, placing the rule close up on one 
side of the bottom of the proper box, slide oft' the 
lines gently, taking care not to rub the face of the 
letter against the side of the box. Proceed thus 
with successive lines till the box is filled. 

Careless compositors are prone to huddle new 
types together, and, grasping them up by the hand¬ 
fuls, plunge them pell-mell into the box, rudely 
jostling them about to crowd more in. This is an 
intolerable practice. The type left over should be 
kept standing on galleys, in regular order, till the 
cases need replenishment. A fount of five hundred 
pounds of Pica may have, say, four cases allotted to 
it; the same amount of Nonpareil, from eight to ten 
cases.

'TIN FI VE-AN D TWEXTY TEARS. 

Sitting upon our cottage stoop, 

By autumn maples shaded, 

I call the gentle visions up 
That time had nearly faded. 

The evening light comes from the west, 
In streams of golden glory; 

So fold your head, love, on my breast, 
And hear my olden story. 

’Tis five-and-twenty years, my dear, 
Since, hearts and hands together, 

We launch’d our bark, the ocean clear 
And all serene the weather. 

With simple trust in Providence, 

We set the sails upon her; 

My fortune, hope and common sense, 
Your dowry, love and honour. 

For five-and-twenty years, my dear, 

The billows lightly skimming, 

One day the skies grew murk and drear, 
Our eyes and spirits dimming.

COMPOSITOR’S POSITION. 

The standing position of a compositor 
should be perfectly upright, without stiff¬ 
ness or restraint; the shoulders thrown 
back, the feet firm on the floor, heels 
nearly closed, and toes turned out to form 
an angle of about forty-five degrees. The 
head and body should be kept perfectly 
steady, except when moving from the 
Roman to the Italic case, the operations 
of distributing and composing being per¬ 
formed by the various motions of the 
arm, from the shoulder-joint alone; and 
if, to reach a box placed in a further 
part of the cases, to put in or take out 
a letter, he should incline the body by 
a slight motion, he should immediately 
resume his erect position. The height of 
a compositor and his frame should be so 
adjusted that his right elbow may just 
clear the front of the lower case by the a 
and r boxes, without the smallest eleva¬ 
tion of the shoulder joint; his breast will 
then be opposite the space, h, and e 
boxes. Sitting at work should be rarely 
permitted, except for lameness, weakness, 
old age, or other infirmity; and then the 


THE ART OF COMPOSITION. 

Experience proves that the appren¬ 
tice foreshadows the workman, just as 
surely as the bend of the twig foretells 
the inclination of the tree. The upright, 
obedient, industrious lad will graduate 
a steady, -skilful, and capable man, as 
unmistakably as the perverse, idling, 
careless boy will ripen into a lazy, dis¬

measurably the maker of his own des¬

not at his outset determine to be a

his eyesight good? Is he under fifteen

’Tis five-and-twenty years, my dear, 

Yet music’s in our dwelling, 

The children’s prattle that we hear 
About our hearthstone swelling. 

God bless them all. the loving band 
So glad to call you mother; 

With heart to heart and hand to hand 
Clinging to one another. 

Through five-and-twenty years, my dear, 
Whene’er my arm was weary, 

And scarce I knew the way to steer, 
Your words were ever cheery. 

When mid the tempest and the night, 
With courage sorely shrinking, 

Then on our way God gave us light 
That kept our faith from sinking. 

’Tis five-and-twenty years, my dear, 
Slight change in you revealing; 

But o’er my brow—you see them here— 
The silver hairs are stealing. 

Yet let them come, while still thy breast 
Retains the fond emotion 
That nerved my arm when first we prest 
Our way out on life’s ocean.

THE ART OF COMPOSITION. 

Experience proves that the apprentice foreshadows the 
workman, just as surely as the bend of the twig foretells 
the inclination of the tree. The upright, obedient, indus¬ 
trious lad will graduate a steady, skilful, and capable man. 
as unmistakably as the perverse, idling, careless boy will 
ripen into a lazy, dissolute and worthless fellow. The fact 
is, a boy is measurably the maker of his own destiny: ami 
if he fails to acquire a master-knowledge of tlie trade to 
which he is put. it will mainly be because he did not at his 
outset determine to be a master-workman. Good morals 
and steady industry are indispensable. 

When a lad who possesses these qualities proposes to ! 
learn the art and mystery of printing, it should be inquired 
of him. Has he had a fair common-school education? Is he 
a perfect speller? Has he a turn for reading? Is liis eye¬ 
sight good? Is he under fifteen years of age? A true 
affirmative answer to all these queries will entitle him to 
the position of reading and errand boy. He is told the 
hours at which he is to come and go, and a strict punctuality 
is enjoined upon him. He sweeps the room,—he sorts out 
the pi,—he learns the position of the various letters in the 
case. A year spent in this way is an excellent preparative 
for “going to case," or learning the art of composing type. 

When he is put to composition, he is told to set up one 
liue and show it to the foreman or to the journeyman under 
whose care he may be placed. The errors in the line are 
pointed out to him*, and he is required to correct them him¬ 
self. When the words are perfectly correct, he justifies the 
line tight enough to prevent it from falling dow n when the 
composing-stick is slightly inclined, and vet sufficiently 
loose to enable him to lift it out with ease, in thus spacing 
out the line, the blanks between the words must be so gradu¬ 
ated, that, when the matter is printed, all the words will 
appear at equal distances apart. No matter how impatient 
he may be to get on. he must be drilled at this exercise till 
he becomes a thorough master of it. The grand doctrine to 
be instilled into him first is, to do his work well and cor¬ 
rectly; swiftness will follow as a natural consequence. He 
sets a second line; and alter it has been made faultless he 
proceeds with the third, and so on till the stick is full. The 
utmost care must be taken- to keep every letter and every 
line in an exact vertical position; and when he essays to 
empty the stick he must be taught to lift the entire mass in 
one square solid body, and to place it squarely and vertically 
on the gallev. If the lines are allowed to slant either back¬ 
ward or sidewise, it is difficult afterward to make them 
staud accurately. 

After the apprentice has become thoroughly conversant 
with the shape of every type, andean distinguish “u" from 
“n,” “b" from “q,” and **d" from *‘p,” he is allowed to 
distribute type for his own use. He is taught to take up at 
one time no more matter than he can conveniently grasp in 
his left hand, which he holds so that the light Tails on the 
face of the type, and his eye can readily read it. In dis¬ 
tributing the’various letters, he takes a word or two between 
the thumb and forefinger of his right hand, and the types 
are lightly dropped into their respective boxes. 

At The outset, and as he proceeds, the novitiate must be 
cautioned against the acquisition of bad habits; such as 
swinging the body as the types are picked up. nicking the 
type against the slick several times betore placing it in line, 
standing on one leg, kc. 

While avoiding these ridiculous practices, a learner must 
acquire (if he does not possess them already) certain habi¬ 
tudes or principles which lie at the foundation of successful 
efl'ort. The first is 

Punctuality.— He must conscientiously observe the time- 
rules of the office in coming and leaving. The early hours 
are the best for work; and the mind being cheered by the 
consciousness of doing right, the body feels the influence, 
and is strengthened; and when the quitting hour arrives, 
the amount of work accomplished will satisfy himself and 
his master too. The most successful masters have been dis¬ 
tinguished for punctuality. The apprentice's time is not 
his own. but his master's property; and wasting it by want 
of punctuality, or idling during his master's absence, is 
simply equivalent to stealing. The second point is 

Obedience. —The apprentice has no right to question or¬ 
ders given by the master or his deputy. His duty i' promptly 
to do as lie* is told, without grumbling or dissatisfaction. 
Let him remember that he is under orders, and that, if lie 
ever expects to learn how to command, he must learn in his 
youth how to obey. He will promote his own interests by 
seeking to anticipate his master's wishes, and by endeavour¬ 
ing to make himself so useful that his services cannot well 
be dispensed with. Akin to this is 

Courtesy.—Good manners in a youth are wonderfully 
pleasing, and effectively aid in his advancement. Courtesy ! 
towards his master is a matter of course, and deserving of 
little commendation; but he must be courteous to custo¬ 
mers when sent out on an errand, and courteous to the 
workmen in the office. By this means he will secure good¬ 
will, and many a friendly’hint will be given to him in ac¬ 
quiring a knowledge of the art. The habit when fixed 
will bless him and others as long as he lives. 

A youth with average ability has. in a good measure, his 
destiny in his own hands. Stubborn determination, perse¬ 
vering* industry, unbending uprightness, self-denial, and 
economical habits go far to ensure success. Let no one 
expect to find it in any other way. Recreation is a good 
thing in its way and at proper times; but work is man's 
allotment iu this life, and he who shirks his duty in this 
respect, will reap disappointment, and when too late will | 
regret his folly. 


POSITION. 

The standing position of a compositor should be per¬ 
fectly upright, without stiffness or restraint: the shoulders 
thrown back, the feet firm on the floor, heels nearly closed, 
and toes turned out to form an angle of about forty-live 
degrees. The head and body should be kept perfectly 
steady, except when moving from the Roman to the Italic 
case, the operations of distributing and composing being 
performed by the various motions of the arm, from the 
shoulder-joint alone; and if, to reach a box placed in the 
further part of the cases, to put in or take out a letter, he 
should incline the body by a slight motion, he should im¬ 
mediately resume his erect position. The height of a 
compositor and his frame should be so adjusted.that his 
right elbow may just clear the front of the lower case by 
the a and r boxes, without the smallest elevation of the 
shoulder-joint; bis breast will then be opposite the space, 
h, and e boxes. Sitting at work should be rarely permitted, 
except for lameness, weakness, old age, or other infirmity; 
and then the stool should be a small piece of board fastened 
to a single leg. Habit will render a standing position fa¬ 
miliar and easy; perseverance in conquering a little fatigue 
will be amply repaid by the prevention of knock knees, 
round shoulders, and obstructed circulation of the blood 
and respiration of the lungs. 


LAYING TYPE. 

Enwrap carefully the page received from the type¬ 
founder. and. laying it on a galley, soak it thoroughly with 
thin soap-water, to prevent the types from adhering to one 
another after they have been used a short time. Then, 
with a stout rule or reglet, lift as many lines as will make 
about an inch in thickness, and, placing the rule close up 
on one side of the bottom of the proper box, slide ofl' the 
lines gently, taking care not to rub the face of the letter 
against the side of the box. Proceed thus with successive 
lines till the box is filled. 

Careless compositors are prone to huddle new types to¬ 
gether, and, grasping them up by handfuls, plunge them 
pell-mell into the box, rudely jostling them about to crowd 
more in. This is an intolerable practice. The type left 
over should be kept standing on galleys, in regular order, 
till the cases need replenishment. A fount of five hundred 
pounds of Pica may have, say, four cases allotted to it; the 
same amount of Nonpareil, from eight to ten cases.

THE ART OF COMPOSITION. 

Experience proves that the apprentice foresha¬

POSITION. 

Tiie standing position of a compositor should be 
perfectly upright, without stiffness or restraint; the 
shoulders thrown back, the feet firm on the floor, 
heels nearly closed, and toes turned out to form an 
angle of about forty-five degrees. The head and 
body should be kept perfectly steady, except when 
moving from the Roman to the Italic case, the ope¬ 
rations of distributing and composing being per¬ 
formed by the various motions of the arm, from the 
shoulder-joint alone; and if, to reach a box placed 
in the further part of the eases, to put in or take 
out a letter, he should incline the body by a slight 
motion, he should immediately resume his erect 
position. The height of a compositor and his frame 
should be so adjusted that his right elbow may just 
clear the front of the lower case by the a and r 
boxes, without the smallest elevation of the shoul¬ 
der-joint: his breast will then be opposite the space, 
h, and e boxes. Sitting at work should be rarely 
permitted, except for lameness, weakness, old age, 
or other infirmity; and then the stool should be a 
small piece of board fastened to a single leg. Habit 
will render a standing position familiar and easy;

] ABOUR-SAVING BRASS RULE.— 

Yj This admirable Rule is cut accurately of vari¬ 
ous lengths, differing an en or an em Pica, and will 
be found of vast utility in Table or Job work, render¬ 
ing the use of shears and file entirely unnecessary. 
Mitred corners, octagonal and right angle, being 
furnished with every fount, the rule may Be advan¬ 
tageously used in a" variety of ways. We make it 
of Single, Double, Parallel or Dotted Rule, of fifteen 
different faces. Every piece is marked with the 
number of eras it measures, so that it cannot get 
mixed with the ordinary scrap rule, and can be 
readily put in the box to whicli it belongs. Cases 
are furnished specially adapted to it.

THE ART OF COMPOSITION. 


I 


POSITION. 


E XPERIENCE proves that the apprentice 
foreshadows the workman, just as surely 
as the bend of the twig fortells the inclination of 
the tree. The upright, obedient, industrious lad 
will graduate a steady, skilful, and capable man, 
as unmistakably as the perverse, idling, careless 
boy will ripen 'into a lazy, dissolute fellow. The 
fact is, a boy is measurably the maker of his own 
destiny; and if he fails to acquire a master- 
knowledge of the trade to which he is put, it 
will mainly be because he did not at his outset 
determine to be a master-workman. Good morals 
and steady industry are indispensable. 

When a lad who possesses these qualities pro¬ 
poses to learn the art and mystery of printing, it 
should be inquired of him, Has he had a fair 
common-school education? Is he a perfect 
speller? Has he a turn for reading? Is his 
eyesight good? Is he under fifteen years of age? 
A true affirmative answer to all these queries will 
entitle him to the position of reading and errand 
boy. He is told the hours at which he is to come 
and go, and a strict punctuality is enjoined upon 
him. He sweeps the room,—he sorts out the pi, 
—he leams the position of the various letters in 
the case. A year spent in this way is an excellent 
preparative for “going to ease,” "or learning the 
art of composing type. 

When he is put to composition, he is told to 
set up one line and show it to the foreman or 
to the journeyman under whose care he may be 
placed. The errors in the line are pointed out 
to him, and he is required to correct them him¬ 
self. When the words are perfectly correct, he 
justifies the line tight enough to prevent it from 
falling down when the composing-stick is slightly 
inclined, and yet sufficiently loose to enable him 
to lift it out with ease. In thus spacing out the 
line, the blanks between the words must be so 
graduated that, when the matter is printed, all 
the words will appear at equal distances apart. 
No matter how impatient he may be to get on, 
he must be drilled at this exercise till he becomes 
a thorough master of it. The grand doctrine to 
be instilled into him first is, to do his work well 
and correctly; swiftness will follow as a natural 
consequence. He sets a second line; and after 
it has been made faultless he proceeds with the 
third, and so on till the stick is full. The utmost 
care must be taken to keep every letter and every 
line in an exact vertical position; and when he 
essays to empty the stick he must be taught to 
lift the entire mass in one square solid body, and 
to place it squarely and vertically on the galley. 
If the lines are allowed to slant either backward 
or sidewise, it is difficult afterward to make them 
stand accurately. 

After the apprentice has become thoroughly 
conversant with the shape of every type, and 
can distinguish “ u ” from “ n,” “ b ” from “ q,” 
and “d” from “p,” he is allowed to distribute 
type for his own use. He is taught to take up 
at one time no more matter than he can con¬ 
veniently grasp in his left hand, which he holds 
so that the light falls on the face of the type, and 
his eye can readily read it. In distributing the 
various letters, he takes a word or two between 
the thumb and forefinger of his right hand, and 
the types are lightly dropped into their respective 
boxes. 

At the outset, and as he proceeds, the novitiate 
must be cautioned against the acquisition of bad 
habits; such as swinging the body as the types 
are picked up, nicking the type against the stick 
several times before placing it in line, Are. 


rjIIIE JOHNSON TYPE FOUNDRY.— 


r | HIE standing position of a compositor should 
-L be perfectly upright, without stiffness 
restraint; the shoulders thrown back, the feet firm 
on the floor, heels nearly closed, and toes turned 
out to form an angle of about forty-five degrees. 
The head and body should be kept perfectly 
steady, except when moving from the Roman to 
the Italic case, the operations of distributing and 
composing being performed by the various mo¬ 
tions of the arm, from the shoulder-joint alone; 
and if, to reach a box placed in a further part 
of the cases, to put in or take out a letter, he 
| should incline the body by a slight motion, he 
should immediately resume his erect position. 
The height of a compositor and his frame should 
be so adjusted that his right elbow may just clear 
the front of the lower case by the a and r boxes, 
without the smallest elevation of the shoulder- 
joint; his breast will then be opposite the space, 
h, and e boxes. Sitting at work should rarely 
be permitted, except for lameness, weakness, old 
age, or other infirmity; and then the stool should 
be a small piece of board fastened to a single leg. 
Habit will render a standing position familiar 
and easy; perseverance in conquering a little 
fatigue will be amply repaid by the prevention 
of knock knees, round shoulders, and obstructed 
circulation of the blood and respiration of the 
lungs. 


LAYING TYPE. 

TTNWRAP carefully the page received from 
the type-founder, and, laying it on a 
galley, soak it thoroughly with thin soap-water, 
to jjrevent the types from adhering to one another 
after they have been used a short time. Then, 
with a stout- rule or reglet, lift as many lines as 
will make about an inch in thickness, and, placing 
the rule close up on one side of the bottom of the 
proper box, slide oft’ the lines gently, taking care 
not to rub the face of the letter against the side of 
the box. Proceed thus with successive lines till 
the box is filled. 

Careless compositors are prone to huddle new 
types together, and, grasping them up by the 
handfuls, plunge them pell-mell into the box, 
rudely jostling them about to crowd more in. 
This is an intolerable practice. The type left 
over should be kept standing on galleys, in regu¬ 
lar order, till the cases need replenishment. A 
fount of five hundred pounds of Pica may have, 
say, four cases allotted to it; the same amount of 
Nonpareil, from eight to ten cases.

MACKELLAR, SMITHS &. JORDAN, SANSOM STREET, PHILADELPHIA. 


THE ART OF COMPOSITION. 

Experience proves that the apprentice foreshadows 
the workman, just as surely as the bend of the twig fore¬ 
tells the inclination of the tree. The upright, obedient, 
industrious lad will graduate a steady, skilful, and capa¬ 
ble man, as unmistakably as the perverse, idling, careless 
boy will ripen into a lazy, dissolute fellow. The fact is, 
a boy is measurably the maker of his own destiny; and 
it he fail to acquire a master-knowledge of the trade to 
which he is put, it will mainly be because he did not at 
his outset determine to be a master-workman. Good 
morals and steady industry are indispensable. 

When a lad who possesses these qualities proposes to 
learn the art and mystery of printing, it should be in¬ 
quired of him, Has he had a fair common-school educa¬ 
tion? Is he a perfect speller? Has he a turn for reading? 
Is his eyesight good? Is he under fifteen years of age? 
A true affirmative answer to all these queries will entitle 
him to the position of reading and errand boy. He is 
told the hours at which he is to come and go, and a strict 
punctuality is enjoined upon him. He sweeps the room, 
—he sorts out the pi,—he learns the position of the vari¬ 
ous letters in the case. A year spent in this way is an 
excellent preparative for “going to case,” or learning the 
art of composing type. 

When he is put to composition, he is told to set up one 
line and show it to the foreman or to the journeyman 
under whose care he may be placed. The errors in the 
line are pointed out to him, and he is required to correct 
them himself. When the words are perfectly correct, he 
justifies the line tight enough to prevent it from falling 
down when the composing-stick is slightly inclined, and 
yet sufficiently loose to enable him to lift it out with ease. 
In thus spacing out the line, the blanks between the 
words must be so graduated that, when the matter is 
printed, all the words will appear at equal distances 
apart. No matter how impatient he may be to get on, he 
must be drilled at this exercise till he becomes a thorough 
master of it. The grand doctrine to be instilled into him 
first is, to do his work well and correctly; swiftness will 
follow as a natural consequence. He sets a second line; 
and after it has been made faultless he proceeds with the 
third, and so on till the stick is full. The utmost care 
must be taken to keep every letter and every line in an 
exact vertical position; and when he essays to empty the 
stick he must be taught to lift the entire mass in one 
square, solid body, and to place it squarely and vertically 
on the galley. If the lines are allowed to slant either 
backward or sidewise, it is difficult afterward to make 
them stand accurately. 

After the apprentice has become thoroughly conversant 
with the shape of every type, and can distinguish “u” 
from “n,” “b” from “q,” and “d” from u p,” he is 
allowed to distribute type for his own use. He is taught 
to take up at one time no more matter than he can con¬ 
veniently grasp in his left hand, which he holds so that 
the light falls on the face of the type, and his eye can 
readily read it. In distributing the various letters, he 
takes a word or two between the thumb and forefinger of 
his right hand, and the types are lightly dropped into 
their respective boxes. 

At the outset, and as he proceeds, the novitiate must be 
cautioned against the acquisition of bad habits; such as 
swinging the body as the types are picked up, nicking the 
type against the stick several times before placing it in 
line, standing on one leg, Ac. 

While avoiding these ridiculous practices, a learner 
must acquire (if he does not possess them already) certain 
habitudes or principles which lie at the foundation of 
successful effort. The first is 

Punctuality.—He must conscientiously observe the time- 
rules of the office in coming and leaving. The early hours 
are the best for work; and the mind being cheered by 
the consciousness of doing right, the body feels the in¬ 
fluence, and is strengthened; and when the quitting hour 
arrives, the amount of work accomplished will satisfy 
himself and his master too. The most successful masters 
have been distinguished for punctuality. The appren¬ 
tice’s time is not his own, but his master’s property; and 
wasting it by want of punctuality, or idling during his 
master’s absence, is simply equivalent to stealing. The 
second point is 

Obedience. — The apprentice has no right to question 
orders given by his master or his deputy. Ijis duty is 
promptly to do as he is told, without grumbling or dis¬ 
satisfaction. Let him remember that he is under orders, 
and that, if he ever expects to learn how to command, he 
must learn in his youth how to obey. He will promote 
his own interests by seeking to anticipate his master’s 
wishes, and by endeavouring to make himself so useful 
that his services cannot be well dispensed with. Akin 
t<» this is 

Courtesy— Good manners in a youth are wonderfully 
pleasing, and effectively aid in his advancement. Courtesy 
towards his master is a matter of course, and deserving 
of little commendation; but he must be courteous to cus¬ 
tomers when sent on an errand, and courteous to the 
workmen in the office. By this means he will secure 
good-will, and many a friendly hint will be given to him 
in acquiring a knowledge of the art. The habit when 
fixed will bless him and others as long as he lives. 

A youth with average ability has, in a good measure, 
his destiny in his own hands. Stubborn determination, 
persevering industry, unbending uprightness, self-denial, 
and economical habits go far to ensure success. 


COMPOSITOR’S POSITION. 

The standing position of a compositor should be per¬ 
fectly upright, without stiffness or restraint; the shoulders 
thrown back, the feet firm on the floor, heels nearly closed, 
and toes turned out to form an angle of about forty-five 
degrees. The head and body should be kept perfectly 
steady, except when moving from the Roman to the Italic 
case, the operations of distributing and composing being 
performed by the various motions of the arm, from the 
shoulder-joint alone; and if, to reach a box placed in a 
further part of the eases, to put in or take out a letter, he 
should incline the body by a slight motion, he should 
immediately resume his erect position. The height of a 
compositor and his frame should be so adjusted that his 
right elbow may just clear the front of the lower case by 
the a and r boxes, without the smallest elevation of the 
slioulder-joint; his breast will then be opposite the space, 
h, and e boxes. Sitting at work should be rarely per¬ 
mitted, except for lameness, weakness, old age, or other 
infirmity; and then the stool should be a small piece of 
board fastened to a single leg. Habit will render a stand¬ 
ing position familiar and easy; perseverance in conquer¬ 
ing a little fatigue will be amply repaid by the prevention 
of knock knees, round shoulders, and obstructed circula¬ 
tion of the blood and respiration of the lungs. 


LAYING TYPE. 

Unwrap carefully the page received from the type¬ 
founder, and, laying it on a galley, soak it thoroughly 
with thin soap-water, to prevent the types from adhering 
to one another after they have been used a short time. 
Then, with a stout rule or reglet, lift as many lines as 
will make about an inch in thickness, and, placing the 
rule close up on one side of the bottom of the proper box, 
slide off the lines gently, taking care not to rub the face 
of the letter against the side of the box. Proceed thus 
with successive lines till the box is filled. 

Careless compositors are prone to huddle new types 
together, and, grasping them up by handfuls, plunge them 
pell-mell into the box, rudely jostling them about to 
crowd more in. This is an intolerable practice. The type 
left over should be kept standing on galleys, in regular 
order, till the cases need replenishment. A fount of five 
hundred pounds of Pica may have, say, four cases allotted 
to it; the same amount of Nonpareil, from eight to ten 
cases. 


NOTICES. 

New Dress.— The new dress in which The Long Roll 
appears, and which is so becoming to it, is from the justly 
celebrated Johnson Type Foundry, of Philadelphia, now 
worthily managed by Messrs. MacKellar, Smiths A 
Jordan. A considerable experience in printing from 
type furnished from the different foundries in the United 
States, has led us to the conclusion that for beauty of 
finish, regularity, and durability, the material furnished 
by the Johnson Foundry has no superior. The head for 
this paper, and its entire inside reading matter, are from 
the Johnson Foundry, and our readers will bear us wit¬ 
ness in its commendation. A large portion of the Job 
Type now in use in this office also came from the same 
source, and competent judges have pronounced it superior 
in every respect .—The Long Roll, Titusville, Pa. 


New Type.— The type on which The News is printed 
was provided by the old established house of MacKellar, 
Smiths A Jordan, Philadelphia, which has for nearly 
three-quarters of a century clothed journalistic bantlings, 
and apparelled with typographical raiment many a vete¬ 
ran among the press. Their advertisement will be found 
in every line of reading matter in this paper .—The Sher¬ 
man News, Sherman, N. Y. 


Our new type, which does so much to give beauty and 
attractiveness to our columns—and which has placed our 
job printing department above competition—is from the 
old and universally popular foundry of MacKellar, 
Smiths A Jordan, 606-614 Sansom Street, Philadelphia. 
It is the oldest type-foundry in the United States, having 
been established in 1796. Their type and other printing 
materials rank as the best in us e.—Repository, Canton, I 
Ohio.

THE SLEEPING WIFE. 

My wife! how calmly sleepest thou! 

A perfect peace is on thy brow: 

Thine eyes beneath their fringed lid, 

Like stars behind a cloud are hid; 

Thy voice is mute, and not a sound 
Disturbs the tranquil air around; 

I'll watch, and mark each line of grace 
That God has drawn upon thy face. 

My wife! thy breath is low and soft; 

To catch its sound I listen oft; 

The lightest leaf of Persian rose 
Upon thy lips might find repose. 

So deep thy slumber, that I press’d 
My trembling hand upon thy breast, 

In sudden fear that envious death 
Had robb’d thee, sleeping, of thy breath. 

My wife! my wife! thy face now seems 
To show the tenor of thy dreams: 

Methinks thy gentle spirit plays 
Amid the scenes of earlier days; 

Thy thoughts, perchance, now dwell on him 
Whom most thou lov’st; or in the dim 
And shadowy future strive to pry, 

With woman’s curious, earnest eye. 

Sleep on! sleep on! my dreaming wife! 
Thou livest now another life, 

With beings fill’d, of fancy’s birth; 

I will not call thee back to earth : 

Sleep on, until the car of morn 
Above the eastern hills is borne; 

Then thou wilt wake again, and bless 
My sight with living loveliness. 


Sansom Street, Philadelphia 


ABOUT SETTING TITLES. 

Ornamental type may be used to good purpose 
in fancy jobs, and without violating any of the 
canons of a correct taste. The universal eye is 
pleased with ornament; and it is well to foster 
this fancy, just as we cultivate a poetical feeling, 
or a passion for music, or flowers, or any beautiful 
thing that God has made. But, as life should not 
be all music, or flowers, or poetry, so printing 
should not be all ornament. And as men whom 
nature puts in the fore-front of all other men are 
noted for an intellectual simplicity of life and 
style, so the title-page that heralds all tbe inner 
pages of a book should be printed in a style of 
elegance severe and unadorned: no fancy type, 
except a lino of Scribe Text, or Old English,—no 
italics, unless perchance a single-line motto in 
Pearl caps,—no bold-face type, nor Antique, nor 
Gothic,—but plain, clear, light-faced letters that 
seem the embodiment of the soul of thought. All 
experienced printers incline to this simple style; 
but publishers sometimes interfere with this pro¬ 
vince of art legitimate only to a typographer, and 
insist on the indulgence of a taste which certainly 
owes no allegiance to any of the laws of beauty; 
and the printer or stereotyper who executes the 
book receives credit for a title-page which he 
would fain utterly repudiate. 

We add a few hints which may assist the learner. 
1st. Having divided the title into lines, and de¬ 
cided upon the size of type suitable for the prin¬ 
cipal one. begin by composing those of the second 
and third class, both in ascending and descending 
order. 2d. Avoid having two lines of equal length 
to follow or come in contact with each other. 
3d. Catchwords should bo set on a very reduced 
scale, and proportioned according to the strength 
of the preceding and succeeding lines; for bold 
catchwords detract from the general effect of the 
title. 4th. Close attention should be given to those 
title-pages which are acknowledged to be dis¬ 
played with true taste and judgment.

lazy, dissolute fellow. The fact is, a boy is 
measurably the maker of his own destiny; 
and if he fail to acquire a master-knowledge 
of the trade to which he is put, it will mainly 
be because he did not at his outset determine 
to be a master-workman. Good morals and 
steady industry are indispensable. 

When a lad who possesses these qualities 
proposes to learn the art and mystery of print¬ 
ing, it should be inquired of him, Has he had

Is his eyesight good? Is he under fifteen 
years of age ? A true affirmative answer to

He sweeps the room,—he sorts out the pi,—

he is put to composition, he is told to set up

THE SLEEPING WIFE. 

M y wife! how calmly sleepest thou! 

A perfect peace is on thy brow; 

Thine eyes beneath their fringed lid, 

Like stars behind a cloud are hid ; 

Thy voice is mute, and not a sound 
Disturbs the tranquil air around : 

I’ll watch, and mark each line of grace 
That God has drawn upon thy face. 

My wife! thy breath is low and soft; 

To catch its sound I listen oft; 

The lightest leaf of Persian rose 
Upon thy lips might find repose. 

So deep thy slumber, that I press’d 
My trembling hand upon thy breast, 

In sudden fear that envious death 
Had robb d thee, sleeping, of thy breath. 

My wife! my wife! thy face now seems 
To show the tenor of thy dreams: 

Methinks thy gentle spirit plays 
Amid the scenes of earlier days; 

Thy thoughts, perchance, now dwell on him 
Whom most thou lov’st; or in the dim 
And shadowy future strive to pry, 

With woman’s curious, earnest eye. 

Sleep on! sleep on! my dreaming wife! 
Thou livest now another life, 

With beings fill’d, of fancy’s birth; 

I will not call thee back to earth. 


ABORT SETTING TITLES. 

Ornamental type may be used to good 
purpose in fancy jobs, and without violating 
j any of the canons of a correct taste. The 
i universal eye is pleased with ornament; and 
• it is well to foster this fancy, just as we cul- 
[ ti vate a poetical feeling, or a passion for music, 

| or flowers, or any beautiful thing that God 
has made. But, as life should not be all 
music, or flowers, or poetry, so printing 
should not be all ornament. And as men 
whom nature puts in the fore-front of all other 
men are noted for an intellectual simplicity 
of life and style, so the title-page that heralas 
all the inner pages of abook should be printed 
in a style of elegance severe and unadorned : 
no fancy type, except a line of Scribe Text, or 
Old English,—no italics, unless perchance a 
single-line motto in Pearl caps,—no bold-face 
type, nor Antique, nor Gothic,—but plain, 
clear, light-faced letters that seem the em¬ 
bodiment of the soul of thought. All experi¬ 
enced printers incline to this simple style; 
but publishers sometimes interfere with this 
province of art legitimate only to a typogra¬ 
pher, and insist on the indulgence of a taste 
which certainly owes no allegiance to any of 
the laws of beauty; and the printer or stereo¬ 
typer who executes the book receives credit 
for a title-page which he would fain utterly 
repudiate. 

We add a few hints which may assist the 
learner. 1st. Having divided the title into 
lines, and decided upon the size of type suit¬ 
able for the principal one, begin by compos¬ 
ing those of the second and third class, both

STORM OF LIFE. 

While sailing on the sea of life, 

T saw a storm arise; 

The waters foam’d and met in strife, 
And lightnings rent the skies. 

My fleet and fragile bark above 
The tossing billows roll’d; 

My utmost store of hope and love 
Was garner’d in its hold. 

The winds blew mightily, and swept 
My fearless vessel on, 

While misty clouds the sky o’ercrept 
Till sun and stars were gone. 

My heart upheld its steadfastness, 

As if’twere stone or steel; 

The deeper horrors of distress 
’Twas needful I should feel. 

The darkness of the night came down 
And on my soul it lay, 

As if my righteous Maker’s frown 
Were gathering round my way. 

The darkness cover’d all the sky, 

And cover’d all the sea.

THE ART OF COMPOSITION. 

Experience proves that the apprentice fore¬ 
shadows the workman, just as surely as the bend of 
the twig foretells the inclination of the tree. The up¬ 
right, obedient, industrious lad will graduate a steady, 
skilful, and capable man, as unmistakably as the per¬ 
verse, idling, careless boy will ripen into a lazy, dis¬ 
solute fellow. The fact is, a boy is measurably the 
maker of his own destiny; and ii he fail to acquire a 
master-knowledge of the trade to which he Is put, it 
will mainly be because he did not at his outset deter¬ 
mine to be a master-workman. Ciood morals and 
steady industry are indispensable. 

When a lad who possesses these qualities proposes to 
learn the art and mystery of printing, it should be in¬ 
quired of him, Has he had a lair common-school edu¬ 
cation? Is he a periect speller? lias he a turn lor 
reading? Is his eyesight good? Is he under liiteen 
years of age? A true allirmative answer to all these 
queries will entitle him to the position of reading and 
errand boy. lie is told the hours at which he is to 
come and go, and a strict punctuality is enjoined upon 
him. lie sweeps the room,—he sorts out the pi,—he 
learns the position of the various letters in the case. 
A year spent in this way is an excellent preparative 
for “going to case,” or learning the art ol composing 
type. 

When he is put to composition, he is told to set up 
one line and show it to the foreman or to the journey¬ 
man under whose care he may be placed. The errors 
in the line are pointed out to him, and he is required 
to correct them himself. When the words are per¬ 
fectly correct, he justifies the line tight enough to pre¬ 
vent it irom falling down when the composing-stick is 
slightly inclined, and yet sufficiently loose to enable 
him to lift it out with ease. In thus spacing out the 
line, the blanks between the words must be so gradu¬ 
ated that, when the matter is printed, all tlie words 
will appear at equal distances apart. No matter how 
impatient he may be to get on, he must be drilled at 
this exercise till lie becomes a thorough master of it. 
The grand doctrine to be instilled into him first is, to 
do his work well and correctly; swiitness will follow 
as a natural consequence. He sets a second line; and 
after it has been made faultless he proceeds with the 
third, and so on till the stick is full. The utmost care 
must be taken to keep every letter and every line in 
an exact vertical position; and when he essays to 
empty the stick he must lie taught to lift the entire 
mass in one square solid body, and to place it squarely 
and vertically oh the galley. If the lines are allowed 
to slant either backward or sidewise, it is difficult after¬ 
ward to make them stand accurately. 

After the apprentice has become thoroughly con¬ 
versant with the shape of every type, and can distin¬ 
guish “u” from “n,” “b” from “q, and “d” irom 
“p,” he is allowed to distribute type for his own use. 
He is taught to take up at one lime no more matter 
than lie can conveniently grasp in his left hand, which 
he holds so that the light falls on the lace of the type, 
and his eye can readily read it. In distributing the 
various letters, he takes a word or two between the 
thumb and forefinger of his right hand, and the types 
are lightly dropped into their respective boxes. 

At the outset, and as he proceeds, the novitiate must 
be cautioned against the acquisition of bad habits; 
such as swinging the body as the types are picked up, 
nicking the type against the stick several times before 
placing it in line, standing on one leg, Ac. 

While avoiding these ridiculous practices, a learner 
must acquire fii he does not possess them already) 
certain habitudes or principles which lie at the foun¬ 
dation of successful effort. The first is 

Punctuality .—He must conscientiously observe the 
time-rules of the office in coming and leaving. The 
early hours are the best for work; and the mind being 
cheered by the consciousness of doing right, the body 
feels the Influence, and Is strengthened: and when the 
quitting hour arrives, the amount of work accom¬ 
plished will satisfy himself and his master too. The 
most successful masters have been distinguished for 
punctuality. The apprentice’s time is not his own, but 
his masters property; and wasting it by want of 
punctuality, or idling during his master’s absence, is 
simply equivalent to stealing. The second point Is 

Obedience .—The apprentice has no right to question 
orders given by his master or his deputy. His duty Is 
promptly to do as he is told, without grumbling or 
dissatisfaction. Let him remember that he Is under 
orders, and that, if he ever expects t<> learn ho^ to 
command, he must learn in his youth how to obey. 
He will promote his own interests by seeking to an¬ 
ticipate his master's wishes, and by endeavouring to 
make himself so useful that his services cannot be 
well dispensed with. Akin to this is 

Courtesy .—Good manners in a youth are wonder¬ 
fully pleasing, and effectively aid in his advancement. 
Courtesy towards his master is a matter of course, and 
deserving <>f little commendation; but he must be 
courteous to customers when sent on an errand, and 
courteous to the workmen in the office. By this means 
he will secure good-will, and many a friendly hint will 
be given to him in acquiring a knowledge of the art. 
The habit when fixed will bless him and others as 
long as he lives. 


COMPOSITOR’S POSITION. 

The standing position of a compositor should be 
perfectly upright, without stiffness or restraint; the 
shoulders thrown back, the feet firm on the floor, heels 
nearly closed, and toes turned out to form an angle of 
about forty-live degrees. The head and body should 
be kept perfectly steady, except when moving from 
the Roman to the Italic case, the operations of dis¬ 
tributing and composing being performed by the vari¬ 
ous motions of the arm, from the shoulder-joint alone; 
and if, to reach a box placed in the further part of the 
cases, to put in or take out a letter, he should incline 
the body by a slight motion, he should immediately 
resume his erect position. The height of a compositor 
and Ills frame should be so adjusted that his right 
elbow may just clear the front of the lower case by the 
a and r boxes, without the smallest elevation of the 
shoulder-joint; his breast will then be opposite the 
space, h, and e Boxes. Sitting at work should be rarely 
permitted, except lor lameness, weakness, old age, or 
other inlirmity; and then the stool should be a small 
piece of board fastened to a single leg. Habit will 
render a standing position familiar and easy; perse¬ 
verance in conquering a little fatigue will be amply 
repaid by the prevention of knock knees, round 
shoulders, and obstructed circulation of the blood 
and respiration of the lungs. 


LAYING TYPE. 

Unwrap carefully the page received from the type¬ 
founder, and, laying it on a galley, soak it thoroughly 
with thin soap-water, to prevent the types Irom ad¬ 
hering to one another after they have been used a 
short time. Then, with a stout rule or reglet, lilt as 
many lines as will make about an inch in thickness, 
and, placing the rule close up on one side of the bot¬ 
tom of the proper box, slide off the lines gently, taking 
care not to rub the face of the letter against the side of 
the box. Proceed thus with successive lines till the 
box is filled. 

Careless compositors are prone to huddle new types 
together, and, grasping them up by handfuls, plunge 
them pell-mell into the box, rudely jostling them 
about to crowd more in. This is an intolerable prac¬ 
tice. The type left over should be kept standing 
on galleys, in regular order, till the cases need re¬ 
plenishment. A fount ol five hundred pounds of Pica 
may have, say, four cases allotted to it; the same 
amount of Nonpareil, from eight to ten cases. 


SPECIAL NOTICES. 

Our New Dress.—W e present the Dispatch to our 
readers to-day in a new suit of type, and we call atten¬ 
tion to the improved and attractive appearance of our 
columns. Our old type has done good service, and it 
has placed before the readers of the Dispatch many an 
important item of information, many a pleasant and 
readable article which will be remembered when the 
little bits of metal which recorded them have been 
melted down and moulded into new shapes. The old 
type has performed its duty and had its day, and it has 
been obliged to give place to the smooth and clean cut 
faces which print the clear and readable columns of 
to-day’s issue. Our new type was cast expressly for us 
by Messrs. MacKellar, Smiths A Jordan, at Nos. 
60G-G14 Sansom Street. This is the largest and best 
fitted type foundry in the country, and it is well 
worthy of a visit from any one who is interested in 
the art which preserves art .—Sunday Dispatch , Phila¬

THE ART OF COMPOSITION. 

T [EXPERIENCE proves that the apprentice 
u foreshadows the workman, just as surely 
as the bend of the twig foretells the inclina¬ 
tion of the tree. The upright, obedient, indus¬ 
trious lad will graduate a steady, skilful, and 
capable man, as unmistakably as the perverse, 
idling, careless boy will ripen into a lazy, dis¬ 
solute fellow. The fact is, a boy is measurably 
the maker of his own destiny; and if he fail 
to acquire a master-knowledge of the trade to 
which he is put, it will mainly be because he 
did not at his outset determine to be a master- 
workman. Good morals and steady industry 
are indispensable. 

When a lad who possesses these qualities 
proposes to learn the art and mystery of 
muting, it should be Inquired of him, Has

these queries will entitle him to the position 
of reading and errand boy. He is told the 
hours at whibh he is to come and go, and a 
strict punctuality is enjoined upon him. He 
sweeps the room,—he sorts out the pi,—he 
learns the position of the various letters in 
the case. A year spent in this way is an ex¬ 
cellent preparative for “going to case,” or 
learning the art of composing type.

At the outset, and as he proceeds, the novi¬ 
tiate must be cautioned against the acquisi¬ 
tion of bad habits; such as swinging the body 
as tlie types are picked up, nicking the type 
against the stick several times before placing 
it in line, standing on one leg, Ac. 

While avoiding these ridiculous practices, 
a learner must acquire (if he does not possess 
them already) certain habitudes or principles 
which He at the foundation of successful effort. 
The first is . , . 

Punctuality .—He must conscientiously ob¬ 
serve the time-rules of the office in coming 
and leaving. The early hours are the best for 
work; and the mind being cheered by the con¬ 
sciousness of doing right, the body feels the 
influence, and is strengthened. 


POSITION. 

rpHE standing position of a compositor 
J- should lie perfectly upright, without stifF- 
ness or restraint; the shoulders thrown back, 
the feet firm on the floor, heels nearly closed, 
and toes turned out to form an angle of about 
forty-five degrees. The head and body should 
be kept perfectly steady, except when moving 
from the Roman to the Italic case, the opera¬ 
tions of distributing and composing being 
performed by the various motions of the arm, 
from the shoulder-joint alone; and if, to reach 
a box placed in a further part of the cases, to 
put in or take out a letter, he should incline 
the body by a slight motion, lie should imme¬ 
diately resume his erect position. The height 
of a compositor and his frame should be so 
adjusted that his right elbow may just clear 
the front of the lower case by the a and r 
boxes, without the smallest elevation of the 
shoulder-joint; his breast will then be op¬ 
posite the space, h, and e boxes. Sitting at 
work should be rarely permitted, except for 
lameness, weakness, old age, or other in¬ 
firmity; and then the stool should be a small 
piece of board fastened to a single leg. Habit 
will render a standing position familiar and 
easy; perseverance in conquering a little fa¬ 
tigue will be amply repaid by the prevention 
of knock knees, round shoulders, and ob¬ 
structed circulation of the blood and respi¬ 
ration of the lungs. 


LAYING TYPE. 

U NWRAP carefully the page received from 
the type-founder, and, laying it on a gal¬ 
ley, soak it thoroughly with thin soap-water, 
to prevent the types from adhering to one an¬ 
other after they have been used a short time. 
Then, with a stout rule or reglct, lift as many 
lines as will make about an inch in thickness, 
and, placing the rule close up on one side of 
tlie bottom of the proper box, slide off the lines 
gently, taking care not to rub the face of the 
letter against the side of the box. Proceed 
thus with successive lines till the box is filled. 

Careless compositors are prone to huddle 
new types together, and, grasping them up 
by the handfuls, plunge them pell-mell into 
the box, rudely jostling them about to crowd 
more in. This is an intolerable practice. The 
type left over should be kept standing on gal¬ 
leys, in regular order, till the cases need re¬ 
plenishment, A fount of five hundred pounds 
of Pica may have, say, four cases allotted to 
it; the same amount of Nonpareil, from eight 
to ten cases. 


“OUR NEW DRESS." 

TTTE have put it on to-day; and we are proud 
\ V of it. The feeling akin to donning new 
suits is not a new one to you, our reader, 
neither is it hard to recall the pleasure and 
satisfaction you have had, when well fitted in 
handsome, comfortable broadcloth. We think 
of the hearty welcome our broad columns and 
clear-faced type will receive from our readers. 
We think we see the oft required glasses put 
back into their cases, and laid aside, and sight 
as often helped, find help no longer needful. 
To Messrs. MacKellar, Smiths A Jordan, 
we return our thanks for their promptness 
and careful attention to our wishes. They 
have fully met our expectations in all things.—

THE ART OF COMPOSITION. 


POSITION. 

The standing position of a compositor 


Experience proves that the apprentice 
foreshadows the workman, just as surely 
as the bend of the twig foretells the incli- I 
nation of the tree. The upright, obedient, 
industrious lad will graduate a steady, 
skilful, and capable man, as unmistakably 
as the perverse, idling, careless bov wiil 
ripen into a lazy, dissolute fellow. The 
fact is, a boy is measurably the maker of 
his own destiny; and if he fail to acquire 
a master-knowledge of the trade to which 
he is put, it will mainly be because lie did 
not at his outset determine to be a master- 
workman. Good morals and steady in¬ 
dustry are indispensable. 

When a lad who possesses these qualities 
proposes to learn the art and mystery of 
printing, it should be inquired of him, Has 
lie had a fair common-school education? 
Is he a perfect speller? Has he a turn for 
reading? Is his eyesight good? Is he 
under fifteen years of age? A true affirm¬ 
ative answer to all these queries will en¬ 
title him to the position of reading and 
errand boy. He is told the hours at which 
he is to come and go, and a strict punctu¬ 
ality is enjoined upon him. lie sweeps 
the room,—he sorts out the pi,—he learns 
the position of the various letters in the 
case. A year spent in this way is an ex¬ 
cellent preparative for “going to case,” or 
learning the art of composing type. 

When he is put to composition, lie is told 
to set up one line and show it to the fore¬ 
man or to the journeyman under whose 
care he may be placed. The errors in the 
line are pointed out to him, and he is re¬ 
quired to correct them himself. When the 
words are perfectly correct, he justifies the 
line tight enough to prevent it from falling 
down when the composing-stick is slightly 
inclined, and yet sufficiently loose to en¬ 
able him to lilt it out with ease. In thus 
spacing out the line, the blanks between 
the words must be so graduated that, 
when the matter is printed, all the words 
will appear at equal distances apart. No 
matter how impatient he may be to get on, 
he must be drilled at this exercise till he 
becomes a thorough master of it. The 
grand doctrine to be instilled into him first 
is, to do his work well and correctly; 
swiftness will follow as a natural conse¬ 
quence. He sets a second line; and after 
it has been made faultless he proceeds with 
the third, and so on till the stick is full. 
The utmost care must be taken to keep 
every letter and every line in an exact 
vertical position; and when he essays to 
empty the stick he must be taught to lift 
the entire mass in one square solid body, 
and to place it squarely and vertically on 
the galley. If the lines are allowed to slant 
either backward or sidewise, it is difficult 
afterward to make them stand accurately. 

After the apprentice has become thor¬ 
oughly conversant with the shape of every 
type, and can distinguish “u” from “n,” 
“b” from “q,” and “d” from “p,” he is 
allowed to distribute type for his own use. 
He is taught to take up at one time no 
more matter than he can conveniently 
grasp in Ins left hand, which he holds so 
that the light falls on the face of the type, 
and his eye can readily read it. 


should be perfectly upright, without still¬ 
ness or restraint; the shoulders thrown

closed, and toes turned out to form an angle

and composing being performed by the

placed in a further part of the cases, to put

the body by a slight motion, he should im¬

height of a compositor and his frame should 
be so adjusted that his right elbow may 
just clear the front of the lower case by the 
a and r boxes, without the smallest eleva¬

then be opposite the space, h, and e boxes. 
Sitting at work should be rarely permitted, 
except for lameness, weakness, old age, or 
other infirmity; and then the stool should 
be a small piece of board fastened to a sin¬ 
gle leg. Habit will render a standing posi¬

SEPTEMBER RAIN. 

Patter— patter! 

Listen how the rain-drops clatter, 
Falling on the shingle roof; 

How they rattle, 

Like the rifle’s click in battle, 

Or the charger’s iron hoof! 

Cool and pleasant 
Is the evening air at present, 
Gathering freshness from the rain; 

Languor chasing, 

Muscle, tliew, and sinew bracing, 
And enlivening the brain. 

Close together 

Draw the bands of love in weather 
When the sky is overcast: 

Eyeballs glisten; 

Thankfully we sit ami listen 
To the rain that’s coming fast.

Like dissolving diamonds, popping 
’Gainst the crystal window-pane, 
As if seeking 

Entrance-welcome, and bespeaking

THE CITY BOUND. 

What a pity! 

Biding in the parched city 
All the fiery summer through! 

Dry and dusty, 

Soul and body getting rusty, 
Lacking will to think or do. 

Ever growing 

Hot and hotter, fiercely glowing 
From the morning till the noon; 

Hot and hotter, 

Like the furnace of the potter 
When it sings its ’custom’d tune. 
Not a pitcher 

Full of water, to make rich, or 
Mollify the baken ground, 

Falls from heaven 
From the sunrise till the even: 
All is dustiness profound. 

Of the ices, 

Hundred hundred-weight suffices 
Not to cool the city’s heat; 

Drinking, drinking 
Is in vogue instead of thinking; 
Frozen water is our meat.
